Visual Studio 2013 only showing Silverlight apps when making Windows Phone App

I just installed Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition on Windows 8 and when I go to create a new project, all the apps I see are for Silverlight.

Is this how it should be or did I miss some SDK or something?

You can't target WP8.1 on Windows 8 - you need Windows 8.1.

WinRT apps (i.e. non-Silverlight) on Windows Phone are only compatible with Windows Phone 8.1.

Upgrade Windows to 8.1, and make sure you also have the latest WP8.1 SDK installed.

Basically your dev machine's Windows version must at least match the target Windows version (including Windows Phone).
